This is an authentic, feel-good, big band extravaganza. With sound quality equalling most studio productions, the legendary Afrobeat sound is presented to full effect. The flawless rhythm section provides inexorable, high-tempo, hip-shaking grooves. Organ, trombone, electric guitar and flute each take centre stage with aplomb, adding their own unique qualities to the potent brew. But it is the sax that really shines – deep, resonant and undeniably funky. Lyrics are delivered in commanding fashion, accompanied by traditional call and response. Afrobeat is taken from its Nigerian roots to Guinea, Senegal and Congo. A truly gorgeous album.
